TODAY--SANTA FE COUNTY BECAME THE SECOND COUNTY TO ISSUE MARRIAGE LICENSES TO SAME SEX COUPLES. ACTION 7 NEWS REPORTER ALANA GRIMSTAD IS LIVE IN OUR SANTA FE NEWSROOM WITH THE LATEST. THE CLERK SAYS ALMOST 50 COUPLES HAVE COME IN FOR MARRIAGE LICENSES SINCE SHE CHANGED HISTORY IN SANTA FE THIS AFTERNOON. MANY OF THOSE COUPLES WENT AND GOT MARRIED RIGHT AWAY IN THE COUNTY COUNCIL CHAMBERS-- WHERE YOU COULD HEAR CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES POPPING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I'm kind of having an out of body experience right now. ALEX AND YON ARE GOING TO GET A MARRIAGE LICENSE--- Exciting! Finally! It's a beautiful day in Santa Fe! SOMETHING THEY'VE WAITED YEARS AND COURT BATTLES TO BE ABLE TO DO. NAT: CHEERING AT THE SANTA FE COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE, THE GUYS ARE GREETED BY THE VERY FIRST SAME SEX COUPLE TO GET A LICENSE IN THE COUNTY--- Come on up you guys! COUNTY COMMISSIONER LIZ STEFANICS AND HER LONG TIME PARTNER. It's about time. THE SANTA FE COUNTY CLERK MADE THIS DECISION AFTER AN ORDER FROM A JUDGE... This is what I was looking for. WHICH SAID--ISSUE LICENSES TO GAY COUPLES OR SHOW UP TO COURT AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU WON'T. Now is the time to right the wrong of hundreds of years of oppression against the gay community. SUDDENTLY, THE CLERK'S OFFICE BECAME A MAD HOUSE--PACKED WITH PEOPLE-- It's about love. WANTING TO GET MARRIED ... I have a wonderful boss who said, 'Go get married!" SHOW SUPPORT... Part of my Christian faith calls me to work for justice for all people. OR JUST WITNESS HISTORY. Be treated equal under the law and they get to marry who they love. THE FUTURE OF GAY MARRIAGE IN SANTA FE AND NEW MEXICO IS STILL UNCLEAR. THERE ARE STILL PENDING LAWSUITS...AND MORE TO COME. SO WHILE TODAY WAS CERTAINLY GROUND BREAKING, IT'S NOT THE END OF THIS DEBATE. THE SANTA FE COUNTY CLERK SAYS HER DECISION DOESN'T MEAN OTHER CLERKS SHOULD FOLLOW-- SAYING THIS COURT ORDER IS SPECIFIC TO HER COUNTY.
